The Barbarian of the Academy - Chapter 101
(1)
1.
6early month.
Summer has arrived at Arsene Academy.
Perhaps because it is a basin surrounded by high mountains and dense forests, Arsene's summers were famous for being particularly hot compared to other places..
Maybe that's why?
Every year around this time, students wear very thin and simple clothes. Just looking at the black-haired girl who just left the Faculty of Magic building, it was like that..
“oh, it's just over.”
A girl stretching with a frown.
It was Noah. Instead of her usual fur coat, she was wearing a white blouse and a long ultramarine skirt..
At first glance, a cool outfit. However, there was another outfit that looked much cooler than Noah's..
“hot.”
The red-eyed barbarian who chased her.
It was Ulan.
Even after taking off his top, he seems to feel the heat, fanning himself with his hand. Seeing this scene, Noah asked with an absurd expression..
“It's still hot?”
“'Cause I tend to have a lot of heat.”
After answering honestly.
Ulan glanced at the Faculty of Magic building..
“I'm glad it was resolved more amicably than that..”
“phew, that's right I really lived.”
Noah also let out a sigh of relief..
Ulan and Noah came to the Faculty of Magic building for a reason. It is to find a lecture to replace the previous 'Magic Detection' class..
If you ask me why I'm replacing a class I've been attending normally, it's because of an incident that happened about a month ago..
‘When the abyss opens.’
When I subdued the Frost Demon Dragon.
‘It is because Professor Direk, who was in charge of the magic detection lecture, turned into a monster and met his end..
Afterwards, the Faculty of Magic looked for a professor to take over the magic detection lecture, but no professor was willing to take over..
‘and the result.’
The lecture was naturally canceled..
Afterwards, the students scattered in search of alternative lectures..
This was the same for Ulan and Noah, but after many twists and turns, I found a lecture that I could listen to together, and I had just succeeded in taking it..
“But I was a bit surprised.”
“what?”
“I mean the lecture. It might be quite difficult for someone who is unfamiliar with shamanistic knowledge, but Ulan seems to have understood it surprisingly well..”
Noah said curiously.
The class that Ulan and Noah have signed up for is a class called 'Understanding Ancient Witchcraft'..
It is natural for Noah, the shaman, to accept and understand the teachings. However, Ulan also seemed to follow the class surprisingly well..
So I started talking to him as if he was curious, but Ulan silently shook his head..
“I didn't understand at all.”
“huh? But the writing is hard.?”
“to ask you later.”
Right after the calm answer came back.
Noah laughed awkwardly..
The moment I heard Ulan's words, it was because of my intuition. That the path of asceticism will begin again.
“It's just a little bit special.”
“What?”
“Didn't the text look like a painting??”
“Well, from a distance it's kind of like that. Still, it's easy to write if you just memorize the text..”
Unlike modern magic, which has been translated into each country's language, each spell has its own writing system..
So, if an outsider like Ulan saw it, he would misunderstand that it looked like a painting..
“Also, it was strange that the letters were blue..”
“yes? I beg your pardon?”
“The fact that the letters were blue…….”
“the text was white?”
“……what?”
“Blue was just blank.”
Ulan shut his mouth tightly..
After a while, he took out his notebook and unfolded his notes. Noah, who was peeping at this together, added his words with an awkward expression..
“Uh, so if taking notes in the blanks is a skill, you could call it a skill. ahaha.”
“…….”
An awkward silence hovering around.
Ulan quickly closed the notebook..
Then, in a slightly depressed voice, he briefly summarized the situation he was in..
“ruined.”
“It's okay, it's okay! They say that even if you fail the exam, if you attend well, you won't get an F grade.!”
Noah added words as if comforting..
Because this was a fact.
This is a special privilege given to all students who have taken Professor Direk's lectures..
As the subject was changed by someone else's will, it was decided that as long as attendance was certain, an F grade would never be given..
“Of course, since Ulan received three warnings unrelated to the test, it is equivalent to accumulating one warning, so I can't be relieved..”
If you receive three or more warnings, it is treated the same as an academic warning. Ulan has been warned a total of 3 times since entering the school..
The first caution was for causing a commotion at the entrance ceremony and resulting in multiple victims, and the second was for violating the rules during the selection match and bloodying Himel Deorg..
‘And the third note…….’
The weekend before 15 days from now.
After Ulan left the academy with Ibella using the permission to go out, he did not return at the appointed time and even stayed out without permission..
Of course, there was an unavoidable circumstance that the wagon service was stopped due to heavy rain, but since it could not be proven, a caution was given in the end..
‘It was really upsetting.’
In particular, Dillia's reaction was unusual..
Looking at the atmosphere at the time, it looked like I was going to have a fight with Ibella, but fortunately, somehow it went well..
It was after it became known that nothing had happened between the two. Uhlan said it in the name of a warrior, so I'm sure.
‘But I'm a bit surprised.’
spend the night with Ibella?
If it was the Ulan of the original, it would have survived even after attacking the original. Originally, Ulan was a character that fit perfectly with the word heroic lust..
But I hope nothing will happen.
‘Well, it's okay this time.’
Ulan, who is currently next to Noah, is in a state where he is far away from the original work..
Becoming a Master at the age of 17 and knowing about the Abyss and the Lord did not exist in the original work..
‘I'm looking into why…….’
No progress so far.
I lived in the freshman library for an entire month, but there was almost no material about 'Abyss' and nothing about 'Monarch'..
Is it because I'm feeling helpless??
Around the time I let out a sigh inside.
Suddenly, I saw a group of students rushing toward the Military Faculty building. At the same time, the reason for this scenery was revealed..
“Students from the Holy Land have arrived!”
Not long ago, there was news that a student delegation had arrived for an exchange exhibition from Elloden Academy in the Seongguk that signed the sisterhood relationship agreement..
“what? at Eloden Academy?”
“yes, because it is?”
“ah! And there was an incredibly pretty kid.”
“really? who?”
“I don't know who I am, but it was a girl with short blue-green hair..”
The answer that followed is scary to end.
Ulan and Noah's eyes flashed at the same time..
Speaking of turquoise bobbed hair, and even a beautiful face from Eloden Academy, there was only one person that came to mind right away..
‘The Saint, Laurea Lo Charpell.’
one of the seven warriors.
The moment they thought of her, the two turned around without saying who was first..
There was no need to have a separate conversation. You could tell he was interested just by looking in his eyes..
So, Ulan and Noah followed the busy students to the Military Faculty..
2.
Meanwhile, at the same time.
The student delegation of Eloden Academy was guided around the campus according to the schedule agreed in advance..
“Then, we looked around the major facilities of the Faculty of General Studies. Next…….”
Arsene faculty member in charge of guidance.
The delegation following her consisted of a total of thirty people. It consists of 10 students from 1st year, 2nd year, and 3rd year, respectively..
The selection criteria are different for each grade, but there is one thing in common. It is the fact that they are promising students who represent Eloden..
Simply put, they were the elite..
Is it for this reason?
Eloden's delegation moved with stiff faces, as if practicing Eloden's school rule, which regards moderation to the utmost as a virtue..
Without even selling a glance.
Of course not all were like that.
“Wow, this is the Arsene you've only heard about.”
“I felt it before, but it's really wide.”
“It looks three to four times wider than Eloden..”
These are the first year students of Elloden..
Not familiar with the school rules yet, they looked around Arsene as if they were curious..
Then at that moment.
Suddenly someone opened their mouth.
“……who is talking now?”
a hard, low-pitched voice.
It was a gray-haired young man in the lead..
His name is Theron Schlagen..
He is the student council president of Eloden and the person in charge of the superficial leader of this delegation..
“We are not here to play.”
Teron, who was staring at the first year students with a disapproving face, continued as if admonishing..
“keep in mind About why we are here and what our mission is.”
The purpose of the Eloden student delegation is related to the oracle received by the King Seong last month. The contents of the trust received at that time are as follows.
「Fragments of the abyss flowed out of the world through the gap, so the day when the door would be opened would not be far off. So, gather the scattered stars and let them become a lamp to light the abyss..」
There is a strong guess that the abyss fragment that came out of the world through the gap is the monster of the abyss that was said to have appeared in the fountain of magic about a month ago..
However, this is only speculation.
Thus, the delegation from Elloden arrived in Arsene under the pretext of an exchange meeting to turn this speculation into certainty..
In other words, the purpose of the delegation is to investigate the correct interpretation of the oracle and information about the 'abyss' mentioned in previous oracles..
‘I took on such a daunting task..’
Sitting there looking around with an excited face as if they were on a trip. Even a first-year student is so immature and immature..
Teron made an impression on this..
Then he pointed straight ahead.
“Everyone look at Laurea!”
A cry echoing around.
Everyone's eyes turned to the girl in the lead. A girl with bobbed hair who walks with a calm attitude despite the noisy atmosphere.
Laurea Lo Charpell.
She is famous as the next saint of the Holy Kingdom, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is currently the most attention-seeking entity in Eloden Academy..
Perhaps because of this, Theron's eyes quickly became colored with respect and longing..
“The way you walk without looking at your eyes! Look at that sublime figure walking only in pursuit of a mission.”
The way he cried out for his blind faith in a heated voice seemed to be watching a fanatic. However, the delegation of Eloden took it for granted..
“These are the skills we must learn. So don't lose sight of it, imitate Lady Laurea and have a godly mindset..”
Teron puts his hands together as if praying.
Then, not only the classmates who were walking together, but also the 2nd and 1st year students politely put their hands together..
On the other hand, there were exceptions..
A young man with ultramarine hair walking alongside Laurea, closest to her..
“Senior Laurea.”
The young man, who appeared to be a freshman at Elloden Academy, spoke to Laurea again while glancing at Theron who was praying with a thrilled face..
“It seems that the student council president is seriously mistaken about the senior. Wouldn't it be better to tell the truth?”
but no answer came back.
The young man whispered again..
“Actually, I got a hangover from yesterday's heavy drinking, so it's better to say honestly that it'll come back if I turn my head hastily.…….”
“……Ian.”
Laurea pursed her lips..
A soft voice came out of nowhere. After a while, she frowned slightly between her fine brows..
At first glance, it seemed to make an impression, but even that was so beautiful. Although the words that followed weren't pretty at all.
“bite it because my head is ringing.”
It's hard to believe that it came out of the mouth of the next saintess. It was a harsh word. However, there was no sign of surprise in Ian. Rather, they only shrug their shoulders as if they are accustomed to this attitude..
That was then.
“Ian Marcus.”
someone called the young man's name.
It was Theron, a man who had been praying with a pious attitude until just now..
“Your role is more important than anything else here. Arsene Academy has more than just our ally, the Ruben Empire..”
The Holy Kingdom has many enemies.
A representative example is the kingdom of Lacerta, which is the least friendly. And in Arsene, there were several nobles from Lacerta..
In other words, it means that there is a high possibility of unnecessary friction or quarrel..
“So, make sure to keep Lady Laurea safe. The only thing I can trust when I'm in trouble is you.”
“yes what…….”
Ian making a sullen expression.
He smiled as if to say not to worry..
“I'm paid, so I'll do my job right. Of course, the story will be different if a bigger problem arises than the price paid..”
Before Ian's answer was over, it was scary.
Most of the other students wrinkled their faces..
“Tsk, you're so snobbish that it's hard to believe he's a paladin candidate..”
“After all, the vulgar nature does not change.”
“No matter how good your skills are, why the hell did such a scumbag act as Laurea-sama's escort??”
All sorts of accusations and negative comments were pouring in..
On the contrary, Ian just smiled as if nothing was wrong..
By the time I was walking again like that.
A large crowd followed behind the delegation..
Students of Arsene.
They looked at the delegation of Elloden from afar as if they were seeing a strange sight. Most of the eyes were on Laurea, but.
“Ignore it. I'm just an ordinary onlooker.”
Teron said calmly..
Like his request, the Elloden delegation did not even glance at Arsene's students..
But at that moment.
Suddenly, Ian's face hardened..
“……!?”
Ian grabs the hilt at the same time.
This happened immediately after eye contact with 'something' among the onlookers..
“……saintess.”
A serious expression I've never made before.
With his hand still on the hilt, Ian let out a hard, firm voice..
“never fall from my side.”
“Why all of a sudden?”
“there is a monster.”
“monster?”
Laurea frowned..
I don't know if it's because of the sudden words or because of the hangover I mentioned earlier..
Soon, bright yellow eyes moved..
Towards the direction Ian's eyes are headed.
some time after that.
“ah, that's right.”
Laurea's eyes sank low..
Just as Ian realized what the 'monster' meant..
“Definitely a monster.”
“Yes?”
“I've never seen anything like this since I was born.”
“i have often seen.”
“what? really? where?”
She asks with a surprised face.
Ian replied calmly..
“This is the Paladin Training Center. It's not common, but there were often people with muscles like that among the instructors there..”
right after his answer.
Laurea made a strange expression. Ian, who noticed this, asked curiously..
“huh? why do you?”
“It seems that the people who think you and I are monsters are different..”
“yes? that is…….”
“The monster I'm talking about is next to that exposure light.”
The direction Laurea pointed.
There is a girl with black hair.
It was Noah Darschen..
